Rebel Wilson has opened up about losing her virginity when she was 35 years old.
The Pitch Perfect star is opening up about her life in her new memoir Rebel Rising – which comes out on April 2.
The book promises to detail Wilson’s ‘unconventional journey to Hollywood success and self-celebration’ – and it seems no stone is left unturned as the actor gives a ‘candid’ look into the most personal aspects of her life.
And in an exclusive interview with People, she opened up about her experience losing her virginity in her mid-thirties.
Wilson told the outlet that you shouldn’t ‘feel pressure’ to have sex and can wait until you feel ready.
She said: “Not everybody has to lose their virginity as a teenager. People can wait till they’re ready or wait till they’re a bit more mature.
“And I think that could be a positive message. You obviously don’t have to wait until you’re in your thirties like me, but you shouldn’t feel pressure as a young person.”
But the subject has been difficult for Wilson in the past, with the star saying that she had previously struggled with how long she had waited.

Wilson said that she would often try to avoid conversations about the topic so she wouldn’t have to reveal how old she was when she lost her virginity.
She said: “There was one vague time, I think I told my best friend, ‘Oh, yeah, I just did it to just get it over with when I was like 23’, Just to really avoid the questions.
“Normally I would just leave the room when the conversation was happening.
“And then the people that said ‘oh, at 24, it’s so late’, and then I’m sitting here thinking, ‘Oh my God, my number’s 35. What the hell? I’m going to look like the biggest loser’.”
Calling herself a ‘late-bloomer’ Wilson reflected that things might have been different had she been born in a different time.
Wilson is now engaged to designer Ramona Agruma, who she announced she was dating back in 2022, and had her first child via a surrogate in November of that year.

And Wilson says that if she had been born ’20 years later’, she would have explored her sexuality more.
“I just knew I was attracted to men, and that was the normal thing.” she said.
“And so when I started opening myself up probably more after my father’s death and realizing, oh, even though I’d seen marriage as a terrible thing and waste of time, I started opening myself up to that.
“And then only years later, meeting women and having feelings for a woman, and that, I just think it’s a sign of where society kind of was.”
In recent weeks, Wilson revealed that her upcoming memoir would contain a chapter about an alleged ‘a**hole’ the Bridesmaid star had worked with.
She later revealed the person in question to be actor and comedian Sacha Baron Cohen.
Wilson has claimed that Baron Cohen, who she worked with on The Brothers Grimsby, had repeatedly asked her to ‘go naked in a future scene’ and to ‘stick her finger up his ass’.
Baron Cohen has since responded to the allegations, with his spokesperson telling The Hollywood Reporter: “While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of The Brothers Grimsby.”

The following day, Wilson named Borat actor Baron Cohen as the person she was referring to.
The pair worked together on 2016 film The Brothers Grimsby.
They told The Hollywood Reporter: “While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of The Brothers Grimsby.”
Now Wilson has doubled down on her comments about not being threatened by her former co-star while alleging that others have come forward to her about their own experiences with Baron Cohen.
“Thanks so much who sent gorgeous messages of support in the last few days and to those who shared with me their own stories of this a**hole,” she penned to her Instagram Story yesterday (March 26).

“Don’t worry I won’t be bullied or threatened by this guy! And am working hard behind the scenes to make sure my book comes out!”
Wilson added: “Ps my book is not ABOUT this guy – this is one chapter!”
As it stands, Rebel Rising is scheduled to be released on April 2.
An extract from the chapter on Baron Cohen published by People sheds further light on Rebel’s allegations, with her claiming at one point the comedian asked her to ‘stick [her] finger up [his] ass’.

The chapter reads: “‘Okay, well, we’re gonna film this extra scene,’ SBC says. Then he pulls his pants down.
“SBC says very matter-of-factly: ‘Okay, now I want you to stick your finger up my ass.’ And I’m like, ‘What?? … No!!’ …”
Baron Cohen’s team shared nine anonymous statements supporting his version of events, including five who witnessed the filming of the scene in question and disputed Rebel’s claims.
One producer said: “As per the script, which Rebel had read and approved in advance, her character was attempting to put a finger in Sacha’s character’s butt.

“At no point did Sacha actually ask her to put a finger in his butt.”
So far, Baron Cohen and Wilson’s The Brother’s Grimsby co-stars are yet to comment on the matter.
Baron Cohen’s wife Isla Fisher also starred in the film, as well as Mark Strong, Penelope Cruz, Empire‘s Gabourey Sidibe and Peaky Blinders favorite, Annabelle Wallis.
The comedy movie has a 6.2/10 rating on IMDb pro, with one reviewer hailing it as a ‘hardcore comedy for adults’.
“The good thing about Sacha Baron Cohen’s movies is that you know exactly what you are in for when you step into the cinema,” said another The Brothers Grimsby viewer. “Anybody who is offended at the crude humour in SBC’s movies, has only themselves to blame.”
When approached by UNILAD to comment on the ongoing situation, a spokesperson for Baron Cohen said: “While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of The Brothers Grimsby.“
Rebel Wilson has made yet another shocking claim about Sacha Baron Cohen and how he apparently used to humiliate her on set.
Wilson made all the headlines on Tuesday (26 March) for claims she made about Cohen, which she had made previously without identifying the ‘a***hole’ in question.
She said in an Instagram story posted on March 15: “When I first came to Hollywood, people were like, yeah, ‘I have a no a**hole policy, [it] means like, yeah, I don’t work with a**holes.’ I was like, ‘oh yeah. I mean, that sounds sensible or logical.
“But then it really sunk in [what they, the older people in the industry, meant] because I worked with a massive a**hole and yeah, now I definitely have a no a**holes policy“The chapter on said a**hole is chapter 23. That guy was a massive a**hole.”
The Borat star and Wilson worked together on 2016 film, The Brothers Grimsby.
In a later Instagram story, Wilson said that it was Cohen who she was talking about.

“I will not be bullied or silenced by high priced lawyers or PR crisis managers. “The ‘a**hole’ that I am talking about in ONE CHAPTER of my book is: Sacha Baron Cohen,” she wrote on her story.
Wilson has also spoke about her relationship with Cohen in her new memoir, Rebel Rising.
Recalling the time when they began filming on The Brothers Grimsby, Wilson said: “It felt like every time I’d speak to SBC, he’d mention that he wanted me to go naked in a future scene. I was like, ‘Ha, I don’t do nudity, Sacha.’”
And when they were filming one day at a soccer stadium in Cape Town, Wilson claims: “SBC summons me via a production assistant saying that I’m needed to film an additional scene. ‘Okay, well, we’re gonna film this extra scene,’ SBC says. Then he pulls his pants down … SBC says very matter-of-factly: ‘Okay, now I want you to stick your finger up my ass.’ And I’m like, ‘What?? … No!!’ …”
Baron Cohen has flat out denied saying this, as well as mistreating Wilson and pressuring her to go naked.

A man who was born with a micro-penis has opened up about how this has affected his life.
Poet Ant Smith revealed that he has suffered from low self esteem as well as abuse because of his small penis.
In an appearance on UK breakfast show This Morning, Ant told how his penis is one-inch in size, and four inches long when erect
This means that it is classed as ‘micro’ as the UK average is around 5.6 inches.
During his appearance, the programme provided two cardboard cutouts, which had illustrative parts to show just how small things are down there.
Opening up, Ant said he doesn’t think that he doesn’t like using the term ‘micro penis’.
He said: “If you say that small is less than average, that is half of all men. I think men certainly exaggerate about the size of their penises, rounding up.
ITV
“I wouldn’t use the term ‘micro penis’ myself. It’s a very specific medical term and I don’t think its particularly helpful.
“It is really a means of labelling people. It is an attempt to categorise people when we are all different.”
Describing his experiences, he said: “Growing up it was a considerable embarrassment to me. At about 3.5in it wasn’t so small but seemed so much smaller than everyone else’s.
“I was teased at school and it made me so self-conscious I didn’t have sex until I was 21. I would get embarrassed if the condom slipped off as my penis was too small to keep it on.
ITV
“Somehow the size of your penis has become linked to how much of a “man” you are, which is nonsense. My wife assured me my size made no difference.”
Ant went on to say that despite some early problems, he doesn’t have issues anymore.
He said: “I use a lot more than that part of my anatomy in my relationship with my beautiful wife.
“She has always been quite proud of the things I write and publish about the issue, as I am just trying to make the world a bit better.”
The poet also decided to spread awareness of the stigma surrounding having a small penis.
He said: “I spent years and years thinking I was the only one with this problem and by keeping quiet I wasn’t letting anyone else with the same problem realise you are never really alone.”
